Yeah that's a concern.

Well it's sort of an inconsistency and sort of not.
If you expand foo*bar and there is no match it remains foo*bar.
If you expand ~/foo and there is no match it remains ~/foo.
That is consistent, and how glob works, but it might
not be how you want it to work.
In your defense, the shell expands as you want edbrowse to,
expanding ~ first and then doing the glob.

We can roll our own ~ expansion,
It wouldn't be hard.
I suppose using the getpwent routines and looking for login match
and pasting in the home directory, I think that's what glob does for us,
and I really didn't want to have to do it myself, but whatever.

Let me think about this one for a bit while I finish the code compression 
project,
which is coming along nicely.
